The Rookie (DVD, 2002, Widescreen)

I love this timeless story of overcoming odds and reaching a dream. Dennis Quaid is at his best in this film as he plays a humble teacher in the middle of nowhere Texas. This is an inspiring story that urges you to not give into the path in front of you but rather to gather up your strength and pursue your dream.

true story and great movie for all make ever one feel good! even if your not a fan of baseball it a good movie to see after its from disney too

If you are looking for a family movie with some action and sports (baseball), then The Rookie is a great choice. Inspired by a true story, it is a great story about going after your dreams no matter what your age. I think one of the things I love most about this movie is the way the movie stresses having a good, strong support system around you throughout your life.

It is a good balance between sports action scenes (for the guys) and emotional/feel-good scenes (for the gals). The acting is pretty good for a family-focuses movie and the baseball is authentic.

We kept coming across this movie on TV and found ourselves watching it almost every time. I said enough of this, let's just get the movie so we can watch it whenever we want. So we did. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent and exciting tearful movie. I would recommend this movie to Movie lovers. Half.com has been a great addition to my online purchasing.

Excellent family entertainment. Great message for all. Never give up, keep on trying and always be there to encourage others.

It is great to receive just what you expected! I would order from them again without hesitation. Thank you for your promptness!

This is an excellent baseball movie. I do not like baseball but I really like this movie. If you like "The natural" with Robert Redford you will like this.

This is a timeless movie, enjoyed by my entire family. Seems like the same old same old, but truth can often be stranger than fiction. Imagine being in your mid-30's before becoming a sports star! Sports fans, and those who might think they're too old for something new, should watch this!

all i didn't like was its a G" rating but there is drinking in the movies.i think thr reating such be pg

I love this movie because it is all about a real person and the personal struggles he goes through in order to attain his dream. It's funny and the characters are completely believable.
